BALIKPAPAN - Muhammadiyah religious organizations have great potential to manage the mine of the former Coal Mining Concession Work Agreement (PKP2B) owned by PT Adaro Energy Tbk. This was directly revealed by the Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) Bahlil Lahadalia.
"If I don't forget it belongs to Adaro, most likely," said Minister Bahlil when met in Balikpapan, East Kalimantan, quoting ANTARA, Saturday, December 14.
He said that the mining management permit has now been processed and is just waiting for the permit to be issued.
"It's in the process," he said.
Furthermore, he said that the Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) religious organization had already obtained a mining business permit (IUP) to manage the former PKP2B PT Kaltim Prima Coal (KPC).
"It's running, it's finished, the IUP has come out," he said.
